Sim Eclipse cd or Emc1.cd player which one

Hi Grange - If I understand what you mean by "bite and clout", then I seriously doubt any CD player will have as much of it as the EMC-1. The EMC-1 is very good in terms of its dynamics and lively presentation. Rock music sounds better on the EMC-1 than it does on other high end players. Slam and detail are all there!

I know absolutely nothing about the Eclipse player.

To build an involving system, you'll need ot look at more than just the CD player.

What model of NBS cables are you using? How about power cords? How are you wiring your speakers - Single cable and jumpers? Bi-Wire with jumper or Tri-Wire? What kind of speaker cables?

The Tabu is 100 Watts right?

Havn't heard the sim. Sorry I missed that point.

I have had a new EMC1 cd for the past two months and find it produces music beautifully, especially after pairing it with Virtual Dynamics cables. After using the VD Audition cryogenically treated power and interconnect cables with it, the player has much more delicacy and finesse, without losing its claim to fame of outstanding dynamics. Judging any component depends on the associated equipment.

The Tabo is 100w,power cables are Transparent Reference xl
power cords NBS Signature,speakers are bi wire, plus links
to the base.

Grange - the system as you've mentioned - is difficult for me to understand.

Are you saying you have Transparent Reference XL power Cables? NBS Signature Speaker cables? NBS doesn't make bi-wire cable (they do have jumpers which connect to the single run of cables though.

Further Exlaination is needed.
